I have a huge sweet tooth. Truly, I love dessert. But, as it is not in the best interest of my physical health, I try to avoid it. My opinion is that dessert is good for my mental health, so I have been searching for some healthy-ish dessert options. I found this recipe, originally by Chocolate Covered Katie. I made some adjustments based on ingredients I already had in the house.
...and to be honest, I considered this endeavor a failure at first! While the flavor is amazing, the consistency was not great. Very crumbly. However, I shared these bites with friends and they still wanted the recipe! So I decided to share it. :) I think if you follow the original recipe, you probably will have a better outcome!
My version used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts and honey in lieu of agave/ maple syrup. The original recipe looked way better. But mine were tasty AF. Especially the frosting! I could dive into a pool into this frosting. So, so, good!
These are a definite #treatyoself, so use them on your cheat days doing the SHED program, or as an occasional treat in maintenance! These may not be the best for your waistline, but definitely good for the soul! Leave me a comment on Instagram or Facebook if you decide to try them! -AHS
